Best Hair and Makeup Looks Seen on Real Women at New York Fashion Week

We gave the models a break and pointed cameras at everyone from makeup artists to PR gals to photographers to capture our favorite beauty looks

Low updoWhy we like this look: Xenia Viray, a trendy shoe store manager shows off a low updo that looks aloof-cool, but we know that it probably took a bit of effort to create.

Try: The sides are twisted down into a low side chignon. It's definitely a haphazard look that shouldn't take a ton of effort and doesn't require specific "steps" -- the idea here should be: don't be afraid to just twist and pin hair into some sort of shape you like. As long as it feels secure, it will last as long as you like it and you'll be able to pull it off.
